It implements a varient on the standard US ASCII : keyboard; in particular, it turns the ALT keys into meta keys, and : makes a few other tweaks so that the keyboard will work nicely with : bash and emacs. Or that's the theory, anyway, your milage may vary : radically if you didn't grow up with the MIT Chaosnet, ITS, SUPDUP, : and Lisp Machines.... How does this differ from the us.unix.kbd that I checked in a while ago? Other than being completely different, you mean :)? Primarily the meta bit support (ALT key turns on the most significant bit for most character codes, which isn't in the version of us.unix.kbd that I just downloaded via cvsweb). Secondarily, a different set of remappings to the standard keyboard layout (us.unix.kbd seems to remap a lot of the auxiliary keys, eg, it remaps my escape key to be `~). The easiest way to see all the differences is probably to load both files into emacs and use M-x compare-windows.
